THE ELLIS MEMORIAL.

The Christian Register, (Unitarianl
Boston, gives the Ellis Memorial the col.
lowing notice:
FAITH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. Memorial
of Sumner Ellis, DID,, with an Outline of his
Life and Ministry. Universalist Publishing
House: By Rev. @. R. Moor-Sumner Ellis
was one of the most able and finished preach
ers the Universalist Church has ever pro
duced. The thirteen sermons here collected
have high merits. They are clear and point
ed, thoughtful and earnest, the evident out
come of thoroughly manly and religious
nature. They are not quite just to the scien-
tific tendencies of the day, for DR.. Ellis's
entifc, and he was born too soon to be alto
gether appreciative of evolution. But, in
their hold on the great verities of religion,
which they expound with admirable force of
style, DIR. Ellis's discourses are eminent and
edifying. His brethren had a right to be
proud of him living; and we trust he will
speak to many, now that his fine spirit is
departed.
The Boston Post, in a review of this
work, says:
1t is no disparagement upon the devout and
cultivated clergymen of any religious denom-
ination to ssy that Dr. Sumner Ellis was in no
proper sense inferior to the best of them. In
the sterling qualities that go to make sue.
cessful preacher and pastor he was not ex-
celed. By nature and culture he was quail
fed for his work. To say that he adorned his
profession does not express the whole truth.
He glorified it. Not in the slightest degree
sensational, never resorting to trickery en-
tirely free from cant and rant, but mild, affec-
tionste and evidently in love with nature, art
and all that is good in humanity, his public
teachings were always effective. Whoever
came in contact with Sumner Ellis felt an
influence that was elevating and transform
ing. This influence was not only experienced
while listening to his sermons, but in his per-
sonal presence as well, whether on the street,
in social life or at the literary club.
Many years of his ministry were spent in
Boston and the neighboripg cities of Salem
and Lynn. Ard although several of his later
years were given to professional labors in
Chicago and other Western cities, yet it is per-
haps, here in Boston that he was most init.
matelY known. 1t was here at the age of
twenty three years, as junior pastor of the
Hanover street church, colleague of. the
venerable Sebastian Streeter, he began his
ministry, after special course of study with
Rev. DR.. Ballou. the first president of Tufts
College. Notwithstanding that his pulpit
labors, both in Boston and Salem, were accepts
able, he felt the need of more thorough prep
aration for pulpit and literary work. and so he
resigned the Salem pastorate to devote two
years of close study at Harvard College. Here
his biographer Informs us, he devoted consid-
cradle attention to "the German schools of
thought in philosop ply and also in theology,
and under the tuition of Prof. Agassiz he was
deeply interested in biology, . and he
received special aid by personal intercourse
With President DR.. James Walker"

France is still hot over the prospect

THEOLOGICAL DISCUSSION.

Theological discussion between Rev Thomas
Abbott, of Mt. Vernon, Ind, and Rev j.
Robertson, of Elm Spring, Ark. This debate
will be held in Sloan Springs, Benton Co.,
Ark, May 9-I2.
Prop. |. The Bible teaches the final salvation
and happiness of all mankind. T. ABBOTT
affirms
Prop. IL. The Bible teaches the endless pun
ishment of a part of mankind. j. G. ROBERT
SON affirms.
Let all interested persons, who can do so,
give the questions an attentive hearing and
decide for themselves. Br. Abbott has been
preaching in Benton and Washington counties
for several weeks, and also in the Cherokee
Nation, and has done efficient work. The de-
baters are able ministers and no doubt will
make it very interesting, Rev. J. C. Robertson
is Missionary Baptist and will do the subject
of endless punishment justice If it can be done
by any orthodox minister, and Br. Abbott is
an able defender of the doctrine of Uni.
versaI Salvation.

nounce orthodoxy when its deformity is clear

FOSTER, the Iowa weather prophet is
sues bulletin in the HauEeye, as fol-
ows: The disturbances for May will be
among the most important of the year in
the way of general storms. The causes
are grouped into two periods, one having
its center about May Is and the other about
the 9th. The former period has Mercu-
ry at its equinoctial for the principal dis
turbing cause, while the latter has Venus
at it's equinoctial, Mercury passing the
suns equator, and the moon passing the
earth's equator. About May 10, the first
storm of the first period will reach the
Mississippi river, not far from, perhaps
north of Burlington. 1t is not expected
to be at its best while in the Mississippi
valley, but will increase in force as it pro.
ceeds over the lakes, northern New Eng
land and st. Lawrence valley, reaching
the latter about May IL or ID. Life will
be much safer on land than on the lakes
during the passage of this storm. About
the 18th another storm will be at it's best
in Dakota, reaching this vicinity within
forty -eight hours after. Another moder-
ate but not small storm will be due on
the river between st. Louis and Burling-
ton on the 18th. From May 81 to June 2,
at least four we'll. defined, heavy, destruc.
tive storms will reach the great river on
their way eastward.

THERE is something of a sensation in
naval circles over the reported purpose
Of the British government to make de-
mand that the United States Government
assume a portion of the debt Of Virginia
held by British capitalists. The report
is given plausibility by the fact that Sir
Edward Thornton, for many years Brit
ish Minister at Washington, is serving as
Chairman of the British committee now
at Richmond comforting with a joint com
mittee OF the Virginia Legislature.
